Those companies do not enjoy immunity in any fashion, and their policies represent a threat to the public welfare and security of all victims of website dependent criminal schemes.

2 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO BACKGROUND OF COSTA RICA, USA, AND GLOBAL FRAUD The company PepperBall Technologies, Inc. (PTI) began operations in 1999 and ceased operating on January 9, We were their reseller in the Republic of Costa Rica beginning in mid Last year a public tender was issued by the Costa Rica Ministerio de Justicia y Paz for $ 600,000 in non-lethal weapons for the prison guards at La Reforma prison. It turned out to be a disaster due to a fraudulent bid submitted by a Costa Rica business. In a lengthy public comment period we learned that one of our USA suppliers in the bid had decided to support the Costa Rica fraudulent bidders. In the end the bid was won by the fraud. A Costa Rica business known as Industrial Fire and Rescue Equipment, S.A. (IFR) then sold 162,000 counterfeit PTI projectiles supplied by ATO to the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz of Costa Rica. This experience caused us to do extensive research into the USA suppliers in preparation for a fraud lawsuit. During that research we learned the following: 1. The company PTI did not manufacture their own products. They used Perfect Circle Projectiles LLC in Lake Forest, IL to make the pepper balls. They used Tippmann Sports LLC and Tiberius Arms LLC in Fort Wayne, IN to make their launchers, as key examples. 2. PTI was in financial trouble and had a lot of debt with insufficient cash flow. They had lenders who wanted out. It came to an end in January 2012 when their notes were allegedly foreclosed upon. 3. As part of a very detailed conspiracy to criminally impersonate the defunct PTI, two former employees in San Diego, CA, and the owners of Perfect Circle Projectiles LLC and Tiberius Arms LLC did the following: (a) Fraudulently renewed PTI s GSA Advantage contract. (b) Maintained the Yellow Pages phone book listing. (c) Formed a new legal entity Advanced Tactical Ordnance Systems LLC to receive sales proceeds under the Assumed Name Pepperball Technologies in Indiana. (d) Made false USPTO trademark applications and renewal applications. (e) Renewed and revised the website (f) Continued to use the credit card access device of PTI for sales transactions. (g) Registered the closed PTI in the US government SAM System. (h) Made numerous entries in the Dun and Bradstreet system to create false affiliations of ATO with the closed PTI (this continues to be done now in response to our reports). (i) Registered ATO in the SAM System to create the deception of competition in government bidding. (j) For around 6 months kept the old PTI office open on Nancy Ridge Drive in San Diego until a new tenant moved in. (k) Personally impostered as PTI employees to sell and conduct training to law enforcement. (l) Personally impostered PTI employees to make sales and training at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida in (m) Personally impostered PTI employees at a booth at the 2014 SHOT Show. (n) Personally impostered PTI employees to travel and make sales efforts in Egypt, Panama, and Peru.

3 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO The items are ordered, the order is paid for and shipped, and no one knows that (1) the no bid sole source PTI sale is being filled by an entirely different legal entity, (2) con-artist impersonators are posing as current employees of the closed PTI, (3) The products are counterfeit, (4) The prices are highly inflated, and (5) The products are available from other suppliers. The perfect con has succeeded for over 2 ½ years. The US Federal Bureau of Prisons is the largest victim in terms of sales according to sales data from the website PRIOR COMPLAINTS AND ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS We have filed numerous Whistleblower Reports and Criminal Complaints regarding the ongoing criminal conspiracy and counterfeiting operation of ATO in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Our website at has complete documentation based on public records. A number of investigations of ATO at the federal level are in progress. For example, the FBI and the US Attorney General in Indianapolis, Indiana; the Inspector General s Office of the General Services Administration; and the US Department of Justice (as a criminal investigation referral from the Inspector General s Office of the US Department of Commerce (IGDOC)). The IGDOC complaints are related to fraud upon the US Patent and Trademark Office and / or illegal exports of controlled pepper spray powder. KNOWLEDGE OF THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES 1. On December 16, 2013 we ed GoDaddy and WY Technologies informing them of the fraud and including attachments. Please see Exhibit A. 2. On December 17, 2013 GoDaddy responds to our information by stating they do not allow illegal activity but it is not their place to determine if illegal activity is happening with website content. They recommend a report that the WHOIS information is incorrect. Please see Exhibit B. We wonder would GoDaddy recognize illegal fraud if the website we reported was 3. On December 19, 2013 we electronically report an invalid WHOIS to GoDaddy on their website form. Please see Exhibit C. 4. On December 19, 2013 we send GoDaddy a few pages of our report to California law enforcement with a DVD of all reports to date, with delivery confirmation. Please see Exhibit D. 5. On December 23, 2013 our information with DVD is delivered to GoDaddy. Please see USPS delivery confirmation as Exhibit E. 6. On December 27, 2013 we received an from GoDaddy stating the domain is correct because it is registered with Domains By Proxy. Please see Exhibit F. The problem with this response is two-fold. First, the registrant was not concealed when we made the WHOIS complaint. It was moved to Domains By Proxy as a result of our complaint. The second is that GoDaddy and Domains by Proxy are the same owners, at the same address, with the same fax number. (Please see the public records at the Arizona Department of Corporations website).

4 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO So with GoDaddy, the public exposes a fraud, they recommend to report it to them, then they offer to the owner concealment for a fee through Domains By Proxy. The result of the report is that there is, of course, nothing wrong at all. Below is the offer to conceal, and what happens after the public attempts to report a WHOIS problem. 7. On January 3, 2014 Domains By Proxy LLC received a DVD from our company with complete evidence of the fraud. Please see the delivery confirmation at Exhibit G. 8. On February 20, 2014 we sent an to GoDaddy, Zions Bank and Tower Bank in another attempt to stop aiding and abetting of the conspiracy. Our hope was that with no website and no bank processing of payments they would not be part of another public tender in Costa Rica. Please see Exhibit H attached. GoDaddy responded to our threat to file a criminal complaint by stating they are unable to do anything about the fraud without a request from law enforcement or a court order. Please see Exhibit I attached. 9. On August 3, 2014 we notified GoDaddy and Domains By Proxy that the trademark pepperball had been reassigned, that they have criminal liability for the fraud, and that we intended to name them as defendants in a Qui Tam lawsuit. 10. On August 5, 2014 we received more excuses from Domains By Proxy and GoDaddy. Obviously they are now fully aware there is an ongoing fraud, that they are making it possible to continue, and that they have no intention of doing anything about it until law enforcement get involved. Please see Exhibits K and L attached.

5 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO 11.On August 6, 2014 we received Exhibit M from ICANN by . As you will note, they are useless and have no power to stop the fraud despite the WHOIS information being completely wrong. INTERNET FRAUD AND CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LIABILITY This is a textbook example of internet fraud. A fraud that is only possible with the deliberate indifference and company policies and services of Go Daddy Operating Company LLC and Domains By Proxy LLC. Who can imagine a business operating in the present day without a website? Our research into laws and regulations of the internet found many references to the web being unregulated or self-regulating. We disagree. The criminal statutes relating to conspiracy and the civil Qui Tam laws apply in this case to Go Daddy Operating Company LLC and Domains By Proxy LLC. They deserve prosecution for knowingly protecting the ongoing fraud of ATO. On Go Daddy s website they are very proud of how big their operation is (see graphic below). Are they above the law? How many more frauds are they protecting? COSTA RICA AND INTERNATIONAL NEED FOR A USA ARREST AND SEIZURE The fraud is in many countries other than the United States. We have found resellers claiming to sell PTI products in Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Peru, Chile, and Panama. Starting with Costa Rica the fraud and counterfeiting must be exposed. Thus far one question has been common in Costa Rica when we discuss the fraud: If the fraud has been reported, why are they still in business in the USA? Our answer has been to point out that the legal process in the USA can be slow. We point out that the Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff continued for 3 ½ years after the first reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that the PTI fraud may involve as many as 35 people in 6 states. But another reason is the website that deceives the world that PTI is an ongoing business since Therefore, we respectfully request the following:

6 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO 1. That the website be shut down. 2. That the primary domain name pepperball be seized so that no alternative like.biz can be used as a replacement by the criminal conspiracy or any potential successors. 3. That within the present legal framework Go Daddy Operating Company LLC and Domains By Proxy LLC are held responsible for their role in aiding the conspiracy. This will set an example to aid criminal prosecution in Costa Rica of IFR, and hopefully every country in which ATO has a reseller of their counterfeit PTI products.

Attachments: Scanned Master WB Rept. NV AG and SHOT Show NSSF.rar; Scanned Criminal Complaint to San Diego CA LE.rar; GSA PTI Identity Impersonation Timeline.pdf; Chris Lewis FAKE PTI CFO on WY Technology Website.JPG Importance: High Greetings From IMGASA Costa Rica to GoDaddy and WY Technology This is to advise that the website hosted by GoDaddy and developed and maintained by WY Technology is part of a nationwide and international conspiracy to make sales under false pretenses to law enforcement purchasing departments. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. We have attached compressed PDF files and a timeline of the corporate identity theft conspiracy. Below this message are screenshots of all Criminal Complaints, Whistleblower Reports, and Notices we have sent to date. You will find in the exhibits Chris Lewis, the FAKE CFO of a now nonexistent PTI business, as the conspirator who changed the address to California as part of the scheme. We are playing hardball. Take until to investigate for yourself. Drive by and stop in at Global Village Concerns, Inc. on Nancy Ridge Drive (the old address used in the GSA contract fraud). Go to the Lusk Boulevard address and see who is doing business there. Call the Tulsa County Oklahoma Sheriff and ask what he thinks is going on. Go visit Karen Buchholz at home and ask her how long is the Minimum Mandatory prison sentence for conspiracy to defraud the Department of Homeland Security? We are giving GoDaddy and WY Technology the benefit of the doubt. You may have been duped. However, if the website is still up in January 2014 we will take the legal position that your companies are (1) Aiding and Abetting, (2) Accessories After The Fact, and (3) Co- Conspirators. We will include your companies as defendants in our Qui Tam action that will be filed in the US 1

8 District Court for the Northern District of Indiana at Fort Wayne, and update all law enforcement agencies that you are continuing to host and maintain the website portal essential to the fraud. The notices in 2014 will expand the current law enforcement base to private websites and organizations such as the Sheriff s Association, Police Chief s Association, policeone.com, correctionsone.com and on and on. We do not want innocent people hurt. You probably need to consult a federal criminal defense attorney as this is a specialized area of law. Frankly, you will be personally shocked at the draconian consequences you face if law enforcement catches your companies and key personnel in the dragnet. Do the right thing and shut down the website fraud portal Regards, /s/christopher M. Edwards 2

(IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO VIA USPS 1 ST CLASS MAIL WITH TRACKING Federal Bureau of Investigation San Diego Field Office Vista Sorrento Parkway San Diego, CA Attn.: Special Agent in Charge Daphne Hearn United States Attorney s Office Southern District of California 800 Front Street, Room 6293 San Diego, CA Attn.: U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy California Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General 1300 I Street Sacramento, CA Attn.: Attorney General Kamala D. Harris San Diego County District Attorney Hall of Justice 330 W. Broadway San Diego, CA Attn.: District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis In Re.: Complaint of Ongoing Criminal Fraud Conspiracy; Corporate Identity Theft of Pepperball Technologies Incorporated (PTI) To Deceive Law Enforcement Equipment Purchasing Departments Nationwide and Internationally; San Diego, California Nexus to False PTI Business Address, Yellow Page Listing, and Website Domain December 16, 2013 Dear Special Agent Hearn, U.S. Attorney Duffy, Attorney General Harris, and District Attorney Dumanis: BACKGROUND We are writing to report the San Diego, California based nexus to an outrageous national and international fraud scheme. We are a Costa Rican company for the territory of Costa Rica as a reseller of non-lethal weapons technology commonly known as pepper balls. This system uses.68 caliber polycarbonate encapsulated PAVA powder pepper projectiles for crowd / riot control, etc. In Costa Rica earlier this year we succeeded after 4 years of sales efforts to get a public tender issued by the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz. The public tender was awarded to a Costa Rican company that used a falsified document to participate, and after technical challenges, and the offer of a bribe, they were publicly announced the winner of the tender.

16 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO Shortly thereafter we reported to the Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement, that their USA supplier did not have an Export License to ship Jet Protector JPX pepper spray guns to Costa Rica. As a result the Department of Homeland Security seized the guns and the Costa Rica company could not deliver. This unpleasant event caused us to investigate our USA suppliers in preparation for tort litigation. In the course of that investigation we discovered that our USA suppliers were engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to imposter the defunct Pepperball Technologies Incorporated (PTI) business to make sales of equipment under false pretenses. We have enclosed a DVD with PDF files of all complaints, Whistleblower Reports, and notices we have sent to date. The document Scanned Detailed Report GSA DHS and Tower Bank NA explains how the creditors (who were also the pepper ball and launcher suppliers) shut down PTI and assumed the defunct company s corporate identity. EVIDENCE OF SAN DIEGO NEXUS The attached exhibits, described below, are evidence of the San Diego nexus: Exhibit A This is an equipment purchase by the Tulsa Oklahoma Sheriff s Department in which a falsified letter on the defunct PTI letterhead is used to document that the purchase should be no bid due to sole source. The letter from Karen Buchholz, a resident of San Diego, uses the address of Pepperball Technologies, Inc Lusk Blvd., Ste. C-137, San Diego, CA Exhibit B This is the California Secretary of State record that the true tenants of Ste. C-137 are the Montgomery group, L.P. and Spitfire Group, L.P. An internet search indicates that these are businesses that offer front addresses like the UPS Store. Exhibit C This is the first page of the GSA contract that the imposter of PTI renewed to attempt to make a sale under false pretenses to the Department of Homeland Security; Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It uses the address of Pepperball Technologies, Inc., 6142 Nancy Ridge Drive, Ste. 101, San Diego, CA

26 Christopher M. Edwards From: Sent: To: Subject: Tuesday, August 5, :58 AM Update [Incident ID: ] ::PEPPERBALL.COM Discussion Notes Support Staff Response Dear Chris Edwards, We are in receipt of your correspondence regarding PEPPERBALL.COM. Please be advised that Domains By Proxy ( DBP ) provides a private registration service that allows its customers to register domain names without listing their contact information in the public WHOIS database. Since DBP is listed as the registrant of the domain name, it may appear that DBP operates or has an interest in the domain name or website. That is not the case; DBP is neither a domain name registrar, nor a hosting provider and has no control over website content. While we appreciate your concern about possible illegal activity being conducted by the registrant, unfortunately, we are not a law enforcement agency and are not equipped to investigate such allegations. However, we do have a long working history with law enforcement agencies and work with them when contacted. We encourage you to file your complaint with the appropriate legal authority. If you would like, you may reply to this and request us to forward your complaint and contact information to the customer. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the customer will reply, but this is yet another option for you to pursue. You may also wish to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint against PEPPERBALL.COM to further pursue a resolution. In order for us to release our customer s identity, we will require a properly served subpoena.
